Specialty Melons for High Tunnel Production

Moriah Bilenky, Ajay Nair

High tunnel production is on the rise in Iowa and the Midwest due to the benefits of season extension and the control over water and nutrient application. High tunnels, a passively heated hoop house where crops are usually planted directly in the soil, allow for an extension of the growing season and extended cash flow. This publication features the crop specialty melons as an alternative that can be used in high tunnel rotation in addition to tomato, pepper, cucumber, and salad greens.
